On Saturday 2nd June teachers from Department for Education, Catholic Education and Independent schools attended our 'Catering For All Maths Abilities R-7' Master Class. There was some very positive feedback from participants on their key learnings/ insights gained from the session. Rob Vingerhoets, a very experienced principal, teacher and presenter, engaged, informed and entertained for 4 hours. Here is a selection of the feedback from teachers:
  • Teacher 1 Insights: How much I've been inspired - can't wait for Monday!  I've also been encouraged to continue some of my work as I now feel confident I'm on the right track. I try to integrate the different areas of maths and I do draw lots of diagrams on the whiteboard. Translation to Action: Open ended questions to begin maths sessions. To ask more questions and to get the kids to do more thinking. Further support needed?: Session 2. Will buy the books.
  • Teacher 2 Insights: Very subtle changes in thinking, and how to talk to students. Translation to Action:  Set up key words in my room. Change how I add words to my Word Wall. 20 word reflection.
  • Teacher 3 Insights: How to support children in understanding relationships between % fractions and decimals. Translation to Action: As a TRT I can use these activities as evidence for class teachers - and 'where to next?' for my own adventure!. Further support needed?: More of the same. Many thanks!
  • Teacher 4 Insights: How to structure open-ended activities. Keywords. Planning guide re abilities. Translation to Action: Start implementing these tasks to engage and cater for student abilities. Further support needed?: Literacy - writing lesson/teaching strategies for struggling writers.
  • Teacher 5 Insights: Lessening the control in teaching. How to extend the one task by offering a question/nudge. Translation to Action: Next ... Fishbowl planning - look back in resources for planning. Further support needed?: List of warm-up activities and open-ended problems/activities for Number, Measurement and Data. Loved it!  Thank you.
  • Teacher 6 Insights: So many different ways to do things that are just fun! Don't be afraid. Translation to Action: Will be actually doing these activities and watching the way kids react/interact and learn. Further support needed?: Further sessions will be attended. These ideas are just so cross-age appropriate.
  • Teacher 7 Insights: Fun open ended activities are easy to plan and differentiate. Translation to Action: Adapted/Used within a range of year levels. Further support needed?: More please!
  • Teacher 8 Insights: A greater understanding of how to teach Maths more effectively as opposed to stumbling through and glazing over key points/teachable moments.  Further support needed?: How to transfer these into a secondary setting, and keep it enjoyable and fun.
  • Teacher 9 Insights: Confidence in creating/delivering differentiation. Ways to think creatively. Translation to Action: I have use all learning from a past (Rob) session in my teaching. Will use and adapt to suit the needs of my students. Further support needed?: Will continue to attend Rob's sessions and access the website etc. Great work Rob! I will continue coming to your sessions!
  • Teacher 10  Insights: Great ways to use open ended tasks. Translation to Action: Great initial assessments and whole class engagement options, plus lesson activities that allow us to get in and work with kids. Further support needed?: Multi step word problem solving. Strategies and examples to draw on.
